AUTHORIZATION FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE T O ACT ON REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION MATTERS

(37) The University is now negotiating for the acquisition of various parcels of real estate needed for the University's educational purposes. The necessity for action on such acquisitions may become urgent, and hence it may not be possible to postpone action to the next regular meeting of the Board of Trustees (presently set for September 15, 1971). In addition, the Illinois Building Authority may ask the University to make specific requests for award of contracts on bids to be received by the Authority on University projects. The Authority may also require the University to adopt specific resolutions transferring jurisdiction of land to and leasing facilities from the Illinois Building Authority, prior to the Authority entering into construction contracts. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that, pursuant to Article IV, Section 3, of the By-Laws, the Board of Trustees authorize the Executive Committee of the Board to take action at any time prior to the next regular meeting of the Board on transfers of jurisdiction to and leases from the Illinois Building Authority and any other matter relating to the lease, sale, purchase, or other acquisition, by or for the University of real estate, including authority to exercise the right of eminent domain and to institute condemnation proceedings. On motion of Mr. Neal, authority was granted as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Grimes, Mr. H a h n , Mr. H o w a r d , Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, M r . P o g u e ; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie, M r . Steger, Mr. Swain.
